ADBSat: Verification and validation of a novel panel method for quick aerodynamic analysis of satellites
Luciana Sinpetru, Nicholas H. Crisp, Peter C. E. Roberts +7
We present the validation of ADBSat, a novel implementation of the panel method including a fast pseudo-shading algorithm, that can quickly and accurately determine the forces and…
Intake Design for an Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion System (ABEP)
F. Romano, J. Espinosa-Orozco, M. Pfeiffer +29
Challenging space missions include those at very low altitudes, where the atmosphere is source of aerodynamic drag on the spacecraft. To extend the lifetime of such missions, an ef…
ADBSat: Methodology of a novel panel method tool for aerodynamic analysis of satellites
Luciana A. Sinpetru, Nicholas H. Crisp, David Mostaza-Prieto +2
ADBSat is a novel software that determines the aerodynamic properties of any body in free-molecular flow. Its main advantage is the fast approximation of the aerodynamics of spacec…
